Gas Giant

I am a gas giant. I am Saturn. I am large. I am mostly gas these days. And I have a donut around my waist. True story. I don't understand my digestive system issues these days. I am actually so annoyed with it. It is not fun constantly having to fart or burp. You have to inconspicuously let them out at opportune moments, so you find yourself wasting your life contemplating the next appropriate time to let out a silent but deadly one. The best times are when you are outside because the smell dilutes quickly and is carried away by the wind. Another good place is in the kitchen because the ovens are loud and usually the smell of food can overpower the smell of farts. The worst times are when you are in Marit, Hannah and Noemi's room (with Kat) and there is no music and you let one rip because you think it will be silent, but then it is not silent at all and everyone stares at you. I do not envy Saturn. I bet all the other planets think Saturn is so rude and stinky.

Today was pretty uneventful. Josh cole was awesome. He talked about forgiveness and grace and love and such things. It was pretty cool. After reading 1 Corinthians 13: 1-3, I realized that I have nothing. It says "If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophesy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If i give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing." Hm. Ok. So I need love over all things. Ok. Cool. Then comes the kicker. 1 Corinthians 13: 4-8 says "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails." Hm. I am not patient. I am sometimes not kind. I am envious. I can be proud. I can be rude. I self-seek. I generally can become angry. And I generally don't forget when people wrong me. Hm. That sucks.

Chew on that for a while.
